Hook

HINTS FOR SUCCESS
ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKEACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE
The good things that happen (consequences) when we take these actions.
Do not throw out glass bottles and jars. Recycle them on recycling day.
You should do this because glass can be melted down and made into new bottles and jars, over and over again! Melting and reforming bottles is cheaper than making bottles from scratch, and that keeps prices down when you buy stuff that is in bottles.
